Newish here, but lurker for a bit!
Has anyone here tried using AI video tools like Sora or Grok to create AI fluffies, abuse or otherwise? I’ve seen a few videos created in Sora that looked insanely good. I’m wondering if anyone else has done the same here, or more rather I’m curious to know what everyone’s opinion is on AI fluffies.
We probably should not be creating photorealistic AI videos of fluffies being abused because it blurs the line a bit of fiction and reality
Though I would like to see what the jannies have to say about this
Za you know as well as anyone else they are going to ignore it till enough people complain about it
I’m pretty sure most ai software has restrictions towards the showing of violence or extreme depictions of harming animals or people so so fluffy videos about abuse are a no go maybe hugbox though
Which is why I’m already smacking Kami in the taint directly
I’m sure people are constantly experimenting with AI, and I’m also certain that some of those experiments lead into photorealism, but please be warned that photorealistic fluffies would go eerily close against our rules for animal abuse, and with AI becoming so good as to not distinguish it anymore, we’d have to assume it is a real animal being abused.
It’s very similar to AI generated CP. Sure, it’s AI generated, but where do you think the training material comes from?
Generate fluffies with AI, tag them, that’s all allowed. Just don’t go down the photorealism rabbit hole.
My topic wasn’t necessarily around solely abuse (though my tagging doesn’t help that, one sec lol), but rather just AI fluffies as a whole, including Hugbox or Neutralbox. I imagine hurtbox and even sadbox would be no-nos off the bat because of the controversy alone, but I’m definitely curious about people using AI to kinda see how fluffies might look IRL.
I was actually able to get a pretty accurate AI fluffy myself with enough a description: https://files.catbox.moe/ap9mxl.mp4
Don’t worry, it’s hugbox! Image for proof:
The fluffy is standing in a litterbox, tells the viewer they made “gud poopies”, and the cameraman says they’re getting sketties, to which the fluffy gasps and shouts “Sketties!” in joy. Cute hugbox stuff. 
I understand the intent but it just comes off as weird and unnatural, like it looks like a skit off smiling friends rather than a cute and authentic moment.
As an AI bro to another AI bro, AI art is just not it, especially in a community where making shitty amateur comics are the meta
I think we should probably just not make photorealistic content involving fluffies, abuse or not, because the community is irrevocably tied to abuse. It’s just not a good look.
Pretty much everything Za and Kami said
And most ai fluffy stuff sucks shit. Most ai sucks shit. It has its uses and I sure use it but not for genuine art or writing or anything. I like to use it for tabletop characters because it’s instantaneous compared to trying to draw it with my meager abilities and I need a lot of characters in a relatively short amount of time. So it’s just like a visual representation to glance at for reference while we use theater of the mind.
Besides that I like to make Seinfeld scripts where George gets attacked by wild animals. A gorilla is almost always involved and usually throws his body out a window.
But trying to pass anything made by a machine as art just doesn’t work, it’s just not worth consuming
I’d rather not, but I kinda like the environment. Clean air and water are better than trained trick software any day.
I do believe the environmental impact is a bit overblown. At least some models are a lot worse than others and some are better. But at least it can actually help and fulfill niche purposes unlike the blockchain and all that for all that NFT bullshit I’m glad I don’t hear anything about these days
This is true. When AI is useful, it’s really useful. Unfortunately, when it’s not, the horrors only begin with cringe.
That and the thing with AI it blurs things in general like mid animation a tail could turn into the head or whatnot…like some fever dream level stuff
The roots of Google DeepDream run deep
Impressive as it is nightmarish lol
To be fair, blockchain has use cases beyond just cryptocurrency (e.g. identity verification). But yes, the environmental impact is an issue if you’re using it for things like bitcoin mining (blegh).
